The Summit (High School)

Summary:

The Summit (High School) is a public high school in Pasadena, Texas, serving 148 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Pasadena Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 562 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Summit (High School) consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools, with particularly low academic performance for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student subgroups. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams are significantly lower than the district and state averages, ranging from just 5.06% in Algebra I to 35.71% in U.S. History. While the school maintains a 0% dropout rate, its graduation rate data is not available. The high percentage of students (89.19%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which likely contributes to the school's struggles.

Compared to other high schools in the Pasadena ISD, such as Pasadena High School, South Houston High School, and Pasadena Memorial High School, The Summit (High School) performs significantly worse in terms of academic achievement and graduation rates. However, it still outperforms the nearby Richard Milburn Academy Pasadena, which has even lower academic performance and a higher dropout rate. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $67,837 and low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved educational outcomes for the students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
